Chapter 3 -"24 Hours From Tulsa"
Grubbery traveled to LA in search of the twins, and called everyone under the name of Morgan in the phone directory, but he never found the twins. Because no one had been living in the Morgan house for nearly two years, their phone number had been taken out of the directory. And when it was put back in the directory, it was under the names of Thomas John and Michaela Louise Hanson. Grubbery wasn't nearly perceptive enough to pick up on the similarities between these names and his older brother's and sister's names. Why would he think to call everyone with a rhyming surname to his own? If he had been paying proper attention, he may have seen Tweedle-Tay and Michaela getting their hair cut in an expensive salon on Hawthorne Avenue, but he was paying more attention to his feet than his siblings. And so Grubbery returned to Tulsa after only one week.
Meanwhile, Tweedle-Tay and Michaela were going through all the changes that would be necessary, before they could start school. They were both seriously emaciated (Tweedle-Tay 6'0", 110lbs, Michaela 5'7", 90lbs), so they visited a dietitian, and went on a special diet to help them gain about 20 or 30lbs each. Their hair was long and full of split ends, so they got trendy hair cuts. Their clothes were too big and out of fashion, so they went on shopping sprees on Rodeo Drive. And they were sixteen-year- old Californians, so they learnt how to drive. With so many improvements to make so they could be normal again, they weren't ready to return to school before the summer holidays began, so they started the eleventh grade in September 1999.
And that brings us up to date with the story.
